Grace misses school because she has to walk miles to find water so dirty it could kill her. She’s strong and independent – she has to be to survive. But without water and sanitation, her dreams could come to nothing. Grace’s is the story of hundreds of millions of people around the world – people who will stay trapped in poverty for want of a tap and a toilet.

WaterAid work so that everyone, everywhere can have access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education by 2030. We believe that Grace and her family can escape poverty when they have access to these essential resources. Help us make it happen: Everyone, Everywhere 2030.
